Btw, LOM. Thank you so much for sticking with me through this. It really is nice to come to a forum where the senior members don't shy away from helping the ignorant who are willing to learn. Thank you.

Those 10 pads are likely the jtag port but it looks like a non-standard pinout so will be of no use for you, will be almost impossible to find out which pin is which.

Normally, odd numbered pins are jtag signals and even numbered pins are ground (except for some cases when one of the even numbered is an additional jtag signal pin).

I thought for once that the pcb screen print had got mirrored but there is as far as I can see one pad without a trace on the even numbered side so it still doesn't fit any known jtag pinout.

Stick to the serial connection, it is much better.
Jtag is completely worthless when it comes to giving you information of what happens in your router, what happens during boot.
Everyone should consider serial connection for debricking his router long before thinking about jtag.._________________Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

If you press TAB twice, it will list you all commands. See if there is command like "outputimage" or something like that (backupimage, backupflash..., I can't remember now...) - then set tftpd client/server on your pc and use this command to get image of flash. You should get file of exactly 4MB.
